&gt;&gt; First, it seems that there's no more development activities going on.
&gt;&gt; Is that the case ?

&gt;Yes (that is, Chinese/Korean/... "yes". English "no"), there is no
&gt;more development of mlgtk.

&gt;&gt; I prefer mlgtk to lablgtk since it is easier to use, easier to
understand
&gt;&gt; and generates more compact code(at least on AIX system).

&gt;I prefer it for these reasons too, but none of my current projects
&gt;needs a GUI, so it's difficult for me to keep finding time to
&gt;work on it.

&gt;&gt; The other question is about reference counting.
&gt;&gt; I looked at lablgtk source and saw that it implemented reference
counting,
&gt;&gt; but I cound not find any reference counting code in mlgtk.

&gt;That is because mlgtk is buggy, or at least because it only works
&gt;if used as intended.  I started to understand how gtk's reference
&gt;counting was supposed to work just before I started to have no
&gt;more time available available for mlgtk, so I never had time
&gt;to fix this "bug".

&gt;&gt; If it is not, is it because the developers decided that it was not
&gt;&gt; necessary or it just wasn't implemented ?

&gt;It's more the second one :) but everything will work fine if you
&gt;don't try to free any gtk objects (and even if you do, it's
&gt;only a memory leak, you might never notice :) ).

&gt;Do you really need it, or are you asking just out of curiosity?
&gt;I could make an effort and implement it, if you need it (and
&gt;as Sven pointed out, the source is available :) ).

Thanks for the answer.
I was just curious.
As for doing it myself, I don't think I know OCAML/GTK well enough to do
the job :).
Thanks again.
